Astronomy satellites are used to investigate different types of celestial bodies and phenomena in space, from the creation of star and planetary surface maps and taking images of the planets in our solar system to the study of black holes. The use of climate research satellites fitted with ...
Use the Qt framework with the latest version of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt to build cross-platform desktop and mobile apps that incorporate features such as mapping, geocoding, routing, spatial analysis.
In the context of the desktop, maps correspond to map packages and map documents, layers to layer packages, tools to geoprocessing and locator packages, applications to add-ins and other extensions, styles to desktop styles, and data files to a variety of files that can be shared through the...
PostGIS has two spatial type options: geometry and geography. To use them, you must install PostGIS to your PostgreSQL database cluster, and use the PostGIS template database to create the database in which you will store the geodatabase. Install a version of PostGIS supported by the ArcG...
